My last trip home to Napoli, I found out that one of the famous tailors there was having some bolts of Tussah silk made up to the old specs. He is quite an expert on vintage cloth, probably one of the top five in teh world. Anyway, he believes that what they are weaving for him now is equal to...
Actually, I think that it can be fantastic stuff. I prefer both dupioni silk and heavy weight linen for the summer, but it doesn't get much better than this from a man in Naples wearing vintage Palm Beach:
Thanks for asking!
Well, in my world decorum doesn't mean lying to somebody's face when they ask a question. It may be a nice suit, but the neck doesn't fit, and that is really the number one thing to look for in a suit. I did nothing but present my findings to you, and was nay-sayed and ridiculed in return...
Whatever dude. I came over to your board and gave some very valid advice that was seconded by the only member here who seems to know anything about clothing. If you want to poo-poo that, you do it at your own risk of looking foolish. It is no skin off my nose as I was just trying to help.
The biggest prblem that I see in this suit is the fit and not the style. The collar simply does not fit as it appears to be moving away from you at all times. As this is the most important aspect of suit fit, you should take it to your tailor to see what he is able to do.
